Redemption from last week

Last Sunday’s loss to the Packers was a tough one for the Vikings. But the results were even more difficult to swallow since Minnesota actually had a chance to come away with a win at the end of the game.

There were a number of opportunities that the Vikings could have taken advantage of last week. But a lot of these chances just seemed to just slip through Minnesota’s fingers for some reason and it ultimately resulted in Green Bay walking out of the stadium with a victory.

After spending this week trying to explain what went wrong against the Packers, the Vikings will be taking the field on Sunday with something to prove. Unfortunately for the Raiders, Minnesota is likely going to take out their anger from last week on them.

The Vikings’ doubters have certainly been a little louder over the last few days after their loss to Green Bay. This week, Minnesota will be out to shut these people up with a commanding performance against Oakland.
